Siam: The American Minister Entertained Prince Damrong

Mr. McKenzie, the American minister, was entertained by Prince Damrong and wanted to reciprocate. He sent his number one "boy" to buy the best kind of Chinese tea for the prince's visit. It turned out that the tea cost much more he had thought, but he eventually got a half pound of the third best tea.
